Egyptian crash committee says: "too soon for conclusions".

Cockpit information from the Russian jet which crashed in Egypt's
Sinai Peninsula one week ago registered a noise in the last second of
recording, the head of an investigation committee into the disaster said
on Saturday.

But the committee head, Ayman al-Muqaddam, said
experts were still gathering information and it was too soon to announce
conclusions.

Western governments have said the crash of the
Airbus A321, which killed all 224 passengers, may have been caused by a
bomb and several countries have suspended flights to the Red Sea resort
of Sharm al-Sheikh from where the Russian plane took off.

Muqaddam
said the crash occurred 23 minutes into the flight, when the auto-pilot
was still engaged, and debris were scattered over a wide area extending
for 13 km (8 miles) "which is consistent with an in-flight break-up".

"Initial
observation of the aircraft wreckage does not yet allow for identifying
the origin of the in-flight break-up," he told a news conference in
Cairo.

The committee was analyzing the cockpit voice records, and a noise was heard in the last second of the recording, he added.

"A spectral analysis will be carried out by specialized labs in order to identify the nature of this noise."

Referring
to media reports citing Western intelligence sources pointing to the
possibility that the plane was brought down by a bomb, Muqaddam said no
evidence related to those claims had been provided to his team.

"The
committee is considering with great attention all possible scenarios
for the cause of the accident and did not reach till the moment any
conclusion in this regard."

"Religion does not require women to veil their hands, feet and faces or enjoin any special type of veil. Tribal custom must not impose itself on the free will of the individual."

I understand the religion better than you and your parents.” The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar imam vowed to issue a ban against the face-veil in all schools linked to Al-Azhar.“Source
